I have swimming at school tomorrow,I love swimming and I want to do it as it is life-saving and I've been waiting my whole life to do it. But I'm really self-concious about wearing swimming wear as I have acne on my back. I posted this on my other channel but the only responces I was getting were "Don't worry you'll be fine"! I really need the help...Please don't put that. Would foundation help to cover it up,and no I am not allowed to wear a t-shirt!

Kat Von d.. But maybe you should try finding a swimsuit that's like a tank top one piece. You know if your sitting in the sun it could help the acne. At least that what I've heard, could be a false statement.

Well nothing you can really do about it. The foundation would end up coming off.
Maybe to help get rid of the acne use a scrub brush for your back to it is easier to clean get seeping into the pores to help clean them.

Personally I have acne on my back too but I wear a bikini and rock it. I don't think you should worry about it at all. A lot people I know have acne on their back.

Lynzie, you are right. Being in the sun does help get rid of acne. Just don't burn it is really bad for the skin to burn.

Try a back acne wash. In the mean time while you're waiting for it to go away you could try using waterproof foundation on your back. But try leaving the foundation on for as little time as possible cause if you're trying to get rid of your acne it's not good to have foundation on it all day.

There is wash you can get to clear that up, but in the meantime, I don't think there's much you can do except wear the bathing suit. I swear, I've never noticed if anyone even has back acne, and so it's not something that stands out to people! but if you're that self conscious, try some liquid foundation! It probably won't stay on too long, but if it makes you feel more confident, go for it!

I used to have really bad acne on my back and I was so self conscious about it. For my dance concert, our costumes had a low back, and I was seriously stressed out about it. When I got to the dress rehearsal...four other girls in my class had the same problem. It's a lot more common than you might think, and the truth is that most of the time people are too caught up in their own insecurities to notice yours. No one is going to judge you or think less of you over bacne! And if they do, they're idiots, and their opinions are worthless anyway.
Looking back, do you think you'll be more regretful about letting some red bumps on your back stop you from doing something you love, or letting go of your pride and doing it anyway?

Okay so I have the same problem and the only solution is going to the dermatologist and hiding it with your hair... I mean you can always use acne cleansers and creams... And murad has a spray for body acne but honesty I just don't waste my time on it... Good luck though!!
